Gerard Marull-Paretas 79e6b0e0f6 includes: prefer <zephyr/kernel.h> over <zephyr/zephyr.h>
As of today <zephyr/zephyr.h> is 100% equivalent to <zephyr/kernel.h>.
This patch proposes to then include <zephyr/kernel.h> instead of
<zephyr/zephyr.h> since it is more clear that you are including the
Kernel APIs and (probably) nothing else. <zephyr/zephyr.h> sounds like a
catch-all header that may be confusing. Most applications need to
include a bunch of other things to compile, e.g. driver headers or
subsystem headers like BT, logging, etc.

The idea of a catch-all header in Zephyr is probably not feasible
anyway. Reason is that Zephyr is not a library, like it could be for
example `libpython`. Zephyr provides many utilities nowadays: a kernel,
drivers, subsystems, etc and things will likely grow. A catch-all header
would be massive, difficult to keep up-to-date. It is also likely that
an application will only build a small subset. Note that subsystem-level
headers may use a catch-all approach to make things easier, though.

NOTE: This patch is **NOT** removing the header, just removing its usage
in-tree. I'd advocate for its deprecation (add a #warning on it), but I
understand many people will have concerns.

FT800
#####

Overview
********

This sample displays a hello message and an incrementing counter using FT800
Embedded Video Engine.

Requirements
************

To use this sample, the following hardware is required:

* A board with SPI support
* Display with `FT800 EVE`_ like `VM800C board`_

Wiring
******

You will need to connect the `FT800 EVE`_ SPI interface onto a board that
supports Arduino shields.

Building and Running
********************

This sample should work on any board that has SPI enabled and has an Arduino
shield interface. For example, it can be run on the nRF52840-DK board as
described below:

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/drivers/misc/ft800
   :board: nrf52840dk_nrf52840
   :goals: flash
   :compact:

To build the sample for `VM800C board`_ the shield must be defined as described
below:

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/drivers/misc/ft800
   :board: nrf52840dk_nrf52840
   :shield: ftdi_vm800c
   :goals: flash
   :compact:
